Of uncertain origin; possibly a modern variant of Chalice.
Shalise is a modern American name with no singular established etymology. It is often interpreted as a creative variation of the English word 'chalice' or a blend of the prefix 'Sha-' with the name 'Lise' or 'Annalise'. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend for rhythmic, multi-syllabic names with soft consonant sounds.
